Suppose you come across old scientific notes that describe a temperature scale called Z on which the boiling point of water is `65.0^@Z` and the freezing point is `-14.0^@Z` . To what temperature on the Fahrenheit scale would a temperature of `T = - 98.0^@Z` corresponds ? Assume that the Z scale is linear , that is , the size of a Z degree is the same every where on the Z scale.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To convert the temperature from the Z scale to the Fahrenheit scale, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the known points on both scales We know the following: - Boiling point of water: - Z scale: \( 65.0^\circ Z \) - Fahrenheit scale: \( 212.0^\circ F \) ...
